EPISTLE VII.

'T'

Imitated in the Manner of Dr. SWIFT.

IS true, my Lord, I gave my word,
I would be with you, June the third;
Chang'd it to August, and (in fhort)
Have kept it—as you do at Court.
You humour me when I am fick,
Why not when I am fplenetick?
In town, what Objects could I meet?
The fhops fhut up in ev'ry street,
And Fun'rals black'ning all the Doors,
And

yet more melancholy Whores :

And what a duft in ev'ry place?

And a thin Court that wants your Face,
And Fevers raging up and down,

And W* and H** both in Town!

"The dog-days are no more the cafe." 'Tis true, but Winter comes apace :

QUINQUE dies tibi pollicitus me rure futurum,
-Sextilem totum mendax defideror. atqui,
Si me vivere vis fanum rectèque valentem;
Quàm mihi das aegro, dabis aegrotare timenti,
Maecenas, veniam: dum ficus prima calorque
Defignatorem decorat lictoribus atris :
Dum pueris omnis pater, et matercula pallet;
Officiofaque fedulitas, et opella forenfis
Adducit febres, et teftamenta refignat.
Quod fi bruma nives Albanis illinet agris ;
